Happiness... Dandelion Fairy Card

Image
Hello there! I've not posted for a while as we've had no Internet for a whole week!! BT finally fixed the problem, phew! I've also had completely no reception on my mobile for 5 days so I really have been cut off from the world in my little dark room unable to even text my mum who cares for me! Good job I have a bell I press when I need her and have been writing little notes to pass to her as I'm unable to talk or tolerate and sounds or voices! Anyways.. I needed a quick simple card for a friend who also has ME. I had just coloured this sweet fairy in and this weeks challenge on The Ribbon Girl is to add pearls so that's literally what I did!! Stamp is from  Lili of the Valley Coloured with Promarkers Added 6mm flat back pearls, 3mm crystal gems Pastel green polka dot ribbon Dovecraft Candyfloss Glitter glue Lucy Cromwell Glittered Sentiments 'Happiness' Wishing you all a lovely weekend!
